PLSS Schedules Overview

In PLSS, Schedules are created at the Equipment level. A Schedule contains information on:

• When to perform an activity.
• What to do.
• How to do it.

In PLSS four Schedule Types have been implemented. A Schedule can be created for:

• An Inspection (ILI run, collect CP data, …).
• An Assessment (RBA Assessment, Internal Corrosion Assessment, …).
• A Corrective Action (a once-off activity).
• Preventative Maintenance (cleaning pigging, hydrotest, …).

After selecting the Schedule Type, the “What to do” has to be specified by:

• selecting the Scope, for example, Overland Survey, Pigging, or Sampling, ….and,
• selecting the corresponding Plan for that Scope by clicking on "What is planned?"  For example, "CP Test Post Survey" is a Plan for the Scope "Overlay Survey".

More information on “How to do” the activity, can be specified in the sections Narrative, Tasks, or Attachments.

So, each Schedule contains:

• A Date, before the Schedule / activity has to be executed.
• A Scope depending on Schedule Type.
• One or more Plan Codes depending on the Scope.
• A Narrative, with a more detailed description of the work.
• Attachments, optional.

After the activity (activities) in the Schedule has been executed, the results will be stored in IMS-PLSS and the Schedule should be credited in the ECH. See Creating Schedules.

Schedule information can be sent to SAP if the interface to SAP is switched on.
